Mr. Speaker, across Canada there are seniors who are struggling to meet the rising costs of basics. Groceries, housing, taxes and general necessities are quickly eroding their limited budgets.
Canada's seniors do not expect the government to keep them in the lap of luxury, but they are expecting to be kept out of poverty.
The Liberal government has been quick to reward its friends, hands out bonuses to almost everyone and wastes money at every turn.
Let us ensure our seniors can live out their lives in dignity within a safe and friendly Canada that they worked to develop. They did not work for a Canada whose social programs are scaled back at the very same time as their income.
How long does the Liberal government expect our seniors to continue doing more and more with less and less?
